Answer 1

1. Yes, there is no following properties in xamarin android:

  VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand"
  HorizontalOptions="CenterAndExpand"

The equivalent attribute in Android is android:layout_gravity:

If you want use several values of property , you can use | to seperate them,just like this:

 android:layout_gravity="fill_horizontal|fill_vertical" 

2. If you want image stretch, you can use this property: android:scaleType="fitXY".You can try with centerInside if you don't want to crop your image, or centerCrop if you want to fill all the space (and cropping your image).

Here is a nice list with examples to understand better all the scaleTypes.
